Obituary - Roberta "Gayle" Hammons March 15, 1958 – September 25, 2020

 

Roberta "Gayle" Hammons

March 15, 1958September 25, 2020
 Obituary of Roberta "Gayle" Hammons

Roberta "Gayle" Hammons was born on March 15, 1958 and passed away on September 25, 2020 and is under the care of Reed-Culver Funeral Home.

 

Memorial services for Roberta “Gayle” Hammons will be conducted on Friday, October 2nd, 2020 at 2:30 PM at Northstar Church in Pryor, OK. Online condolences for her family may be left at www.reedculver.com.

Roberta Gayle Rowbotham-Hammons was born on March 15th, 1958, in Tulsa, OK, the daughter of William and Barbara (Willis) Rowbotham. She was raised in a family with one brother and one sister, William Henry and Linda JoAnn. She attended and graduated from Catoosa high school. She was a woman of many talents and did many things, the most important to her was being a wonderful wife, a loving mother and an adoring grandmother to her four grandchildren and her one great grandchild. She married Doyle Hammons on August 8th, 1994 in Harrison. She was the devoted and adoring mother to her three children, David Allen, Leslie Dawn, and Autumn Lea. She attended and graduated from Cosmetology School. She loved her job and was a genuine people person, always going the extra mile to make them happy. She was an incredibly talented artist, working in pencil and paints, crocheting, sewing, she made beautiful costumes and enjoyed decorating her yard with various yard ornaments as the seasons changed. She liked to spend the occasional afternoon fishing and liked being outdoors. If there were people gathered to have a good time, she was found right in the middle, always the happy one and the life of the party. Football season found her rooting for her favorite teams, the OSU Cowboys and the TU Golden Hurricanes, and she proudly demonstrated her loyalty by displaying her flags for her teams on her car. Christmas was her favorite time of the year and Gayle seemed to shine the brightest, decorating the house, searching for the perfect gift for someone and making everyone’s holiday just a little bit brighter. She adored the time making things for Doyle, the kids and her grandchildren. There was nothing as wonderful as her whole family gathered around her. She loved music, especially country, and her canine companions. She enjoyed dancing and taught line dancing for enjoyment. She was bright, funny and an absolute joy to be around. Sometimes the lights that burn the brightest have the shortest amount of time, and this was true of Gayle. She was a Christian by faith and attended the Northstar Church in Pryor, OK. The Lord called this good and faithful servant home from her many labors on Friday, September 25th, 2020 at her home in Catoosa, OK. She was 62 years old. She leaves a void that can never be filled.

She is preceded in death by her grandparents and her mother and father.

Those left to cherish her memory include her husband Doyle Hammons of the home in Catoosa, OK. She also leaves her three children, David Allen Threet II of Sand Springs, OK, Leslie Dawn Cummings and husband Steven of Catoosa, OK, and Autumn Lea Ellen Hibbard of Claremore, OK. She leaves her brother and sister, William Henry Rowbotham and wife Pam of Owasso, OK, and Linda JoAnn Hoover and husband John of Tulsa, OK. She lives on in her four grandchildren, Skylar Andrew Cummings and wife Haley, Hollie Nicole Cummings, Robert Anthony Bushers and wife Hannah, and Cody Garrett Ratliff, and one great grandchild, Jimi Ozeda Bushers, as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins and a host of friends and loved ones.

 

Memorial Service will be held on October 2, 2020 at 2:30 pm at Northstar Pryor Church.

Obituary - Timothy Wayne Champlain September 23, 1960 – September 24, 2020

 Obituary of Timothy Wayne Champlain

The family of Timothy Wayne Champlain are receiving visitors on Wednesday, September 30th, 2020 beginning at 1:00 PM until 6:00 PM at Reed-Culver Chapel in Tahlequah, OK. Online condolences for the family may be left at www.reedculver.com.

Timothy Wayne Champlain was born on September 23rd, 1960 in Tulsa, OK, the son of Lillian Beatrice Champlain-Chase. He attended school and graduated from Daniel Webster High School in Tulsa, OK and later obtained his Bachelor’s Degree in Oceanology from the University Of Central Florida. He was especially fond of robotics in exploring the oceans depths. Tim loved people and enjoyed life to its fullest. He never met a stranger but was ready to share a good joke or laugh with anyone he chanced to meet. He was a free spirit, never caring what society thought of him or his actions. He loved to pick on his family and friends, pulling pranks, or just saying something to get a rise out of them. He liked to watch TV, especially the Sci-Fi Channel and the History Channel. A big plate of biscuits and gravy brought out a smile and if there was a garage sale in the area, Tim was there, scouting out a bargain. He liked to gamble at the casino, and was a member of the Order of the Moose in Florida. He loved his family and was content to be in their presence, sharing a cup of coffee and a little cheerful banter. He passed from this life on September 24, 2020 in Tahlequah, OK, at the age of 60 years and will be greatly missed by his family and friends.

He is preceded in death by his grandparents William and Vivian Champlain, his aunts, Leatrice Boyce and her husband Earnest, and Virginia Tribble and husband Howard, and his uncles, Ronald Champlain, Robert Champlain and wife Shirley, Thomas Champlain and wife Eloise, Dale Champlain, James Champlain and wife Margaret, and Bill Champlain Jr. and wife Janie.

Those left to remember Tim include his mother, Lillian Beatrice Champlain –Chase of the home in Park Hill, OK, two aunts, Juana York and husband Charlie of Tahlequah, OK, and Mary Champlain, a very special niece, Brittney Daugherty and companion Bryan Larch of Park Hill, OK, very special friends, Dale and Judy Smelzer of Orlando, FL as well as many cousins, friends, and a host of loved ones too numerous to mention.

Obituary - Stanley Fulton "Bud" Wilkinson September 4, 1946 – September 20, 2020

 

Stanley Fulton "Bud" Wilkinson

September 4, 1946September 20, 2020
 Obituary of Stanley Fulton "Bud" Wilkinson
 

Memorial services for Stanley Fulton Wilkinson, or “Bud” to his many friends and family, will be held on Friday, September 25th, 2020 at 11:00 AM at Reed-Culver Funeral Home. Tributes will be offered by the family that knew him best. Online condolences for his family may be left at www.reedculver.com.

Honorary Pallbearers for Bud include Larry Swim, Raymond Thompson, Mike Matthews Sr., and Ray Whitney.

Stanley Wilkinson was born on September 4th, 1946, in Tahlequah, OK, the son of Cecil Edgar and Ruby Marie (Willis) Wilkinson. He grew up with one brother and two sisters, Edwin, Kathy and Linda. He attended and graduated from Tahlequah High School. He then enlisted into the US Army and served his country honorably for 2 years. He returned to the Tahlequah area and began studies at NSU. He also started what was to be a life-long career in owning and operating convenience stores. In his last years working he served as the local Little Debbie man. He was the proud father of three daughters, Amanda, Candice and Cassie. Later he would also be the equally proud dad to four stepchildren, Jonathan, Jeremy, Tana and Tesha. Bud was a hard- working man. When the work was done and there was time to play, he could be found enjoying his wonderful collection of muscle cars, including his favorite 1969 Dodge Dart. Bud was very talented in the garden and raised beautiful vegetables, and shared them with everyone. If there was a furry friend with no home, they found a home safe with Bud. He didn’t care if they were canine, feline, goat, rabbit, or turtle, he cared for them all. He possessed a kind and loving heart and was always there to help his fellow man, with whatever he had and whatever he could do to make life good for them. He loved sports and his favorite teams were the Oklahoma Sooners and the St. Louis Cardinals. He was a handsome young man, with a deep voice, a ready smile, a wonderful sense of humor and quick wit. On May 28th, 2011, he took Angela Gaye Alcorn to be his bride. Together they enjoyed many wonderful memories of family gathering together, to celebrate a holiday or just a backyard cookout. He was the proud grandad of 24 grandchildren, and he was so proud of everything they accomplished or did in school. His health failed him and he passed from this life on September 20th, 2020 at the Muskogee VA Hospital, with those who knew and loved him close by his side. He was 74 years old and will be greatly missed.

He is preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Fulton and Margaret Willis and his paternal grandparents, Clark and Effie (Burris)Wilkinson, and his mother and father, Cecil and Ruby Wilkinson.

Those left to celebrate his life include his wife, Angela Wilkinson of the home in Tahlequah. He leaves his three daughters, Amanda Roberson and husband Thomas of Skiatook, OK, Candice Blackman and husband Johnathan of Tahlequah, OK, and Cassie Wilkinson also of Tahlequah, OK. His stepchildren include Tana Scroggins and Jackey of Tulsa, OK, Jonathan Lines and wife Kendi of Otis, OR, Tesha Holland and husband Derek of Fayetteville, AR, and Jeremy Lines and wife Maurissa of Brumley, MO. He leaves one brother and two sisters, Edwin Wilkinson and wife Carolyn of Tulsa, OK, Kathy Quay and husband Steve of Sand Springs, OK, and Linda Holcomb of Richmond, VA. Bud lives on in his 24 grandchildren, Samantha, Charlize, Tommy, and Shaelin Roberson, Makenzie Johnathan Jr., Michael, and Kaylee Blackman, Kaden, Kira, Keaton, Kaitlin, and Kyler Scroggins, Luke Norman, Sky, River, and Rayne Oldshield, Bowie, Dylan, Emma, and Adam Holland, Austin, Jared, and Hunter Lines. He leaves his Uncle and Aunt, Dean Willis and wife Charlotte of Coweta, OK, as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins and a host of friends and loved ones too numerous to mention.
